As for performance, it's night and day over the stock brakes and DS2500 pads. I am not sure how much is pads vs BBK, but man an AP Racing Radical Pro 5000R set of calipers with Ferodo DS1.11 pads is a really great set up!
I got my personal best lap time at The Ridge down to a 1.59.32 from a 2.00.46. Lots more to improve upon (at least getting to a consistent 2 flat would be my next step hehe).
I definitely have a lot to learn on how to brake properly with this setup; I think I was causing the ABS to kick in. Need more time on it, but super happy with it after 1 track day. I absolutely love how easy it is to change pads!
That's awesome! Very interested in this, the work you were doing looked outstanding.
I recall looking at those some time back, seemed like good pads & compounds. Do you have any personal experience with them?
It was actually your thread on here that helped my shop figure it out. THANKS for that! Super unnerving when driving on a track. I was still able to turn decent lap times, but was constantly wondering if the brakes were going to give up - it was that feeling that made me decide to do the AP Racing BBK.
Super happy with the AP Racing BBK. Now I need to learn to drive much better!
Cheers!

Super! Glad it helped!
Poop in your pants kind of scary when the brake pedal drops 3/4 of the way with no resistance LOL.
